The music mogul was almost unrecognisable as he strutted along the shore in a pair of patterned swimming trunks that showed off his trim figure.

Simon's sunkissed skin was glowing from his winter tan, with the star protecting his eyes with a pair of trendy sunglasses.

He was seen holding hands with Eric, who was in green swimwear and goggles, with a lifejacket securely fastened as the father and sun prepared for the jetskis.

Lauren, 42, also looked sensational in a one-shoulder swimming costume.

The brunette beauty went paddle-boarding, accessorising with a pair of sunglasses and a white sunhat.

Simon is said to have lost three stone in weight after a health scare in 2017 which saw him switch to a vegan diet and begin to incorporate more fruit and veg.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun Online, Simon revealed that he had lost 4 inches from his waist after overhauling his diet.

He said: "The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think ‘wow’."

He added: "I used to be 36 inch waist and now I’ve lost four inches. I’m really happy now.

"You can drink this light beer but you’ve got to be sensible about quantities. I have loads more energy and feel great."

Simon suffered a fall on his stairs inside his London home October 2017 which forced him to reevaluate his lifestyle; he blamed his injuries on his unhealthy lifestyle where he "lived like a vampire" staying awake till 8am every morning.

Not only has his diet helped him shed the pounds, but Simon says it's made him a better dad to Eric.

Simon told The Sun: "My memory's better, my energy's better. And when you've got a five year old you've got to be able to keep up with them because the minute they're awake they're all over the place. His energy is unbelievable.

"So I was conscious of the fact I have to keep up with him energy wise and someone recommended this as the way to go.

"I tried it and I stuck to it, it's one of the easiest things I've ever done."
